. A few others might be lining up for their last game in Hawthorn colours in this game. Chance to knock out the Bulldogs from September action.

Preview discussion in here.

 

[Max Powers]

If we play like we did today and the umps give 'em the usual service gonna be an absolute shocker. Hope we have a crack.

[chopflop]

Sicily's second game as a CBA mid?

 

[lethalselbow]

In: Callow
Out: Kosi

Plus other changes. Kosi not so flash, at the moment. Mind you, our midfield is close to non-existent

 

[TylerDurden]

Callow had 6 touches at BH.

Callow had 6 touches at BH.

Did you watch or just reading the stat sheet?

 

[grumbleguts]

I want whoever controlled the ball with a joy stick in Kosi's first goal today, to operate it all game this time.

We will not knock out anyone this season mate. It's not the type of team we have now. I hope we use the last game of the season to check relavent long term positions for the young ones. Say bye to some veterans and test few young ones.

 

[Slainte]

Did you watch or just reading the stat sheet?

I watched. Callow was not a presence in the forward line. He got his six possessions playing more like a flanker than a KPF. It doesn't matter how you see it, six possessions as a forward in a team that won easily is underwhelming.

 

[Baz_hawk]

Saunders did enough for BH to warrant a game.

Not his finest effort but side won. Six marks. Playing on a beast and always trying. Kozi... um... err... half of you want to trade him out.

Time to try a few more things. Today was magnets all ovee the place.

 

[lethalselbow]

Saunders did enough for BH to warrant a game.

100% Give him a burst in the seniors.

 

[Slainte]

Yep - happy to give Saunders a run and get MacDonald back in. Lynch should also get a game on his BH form.

Not sure about Impey and Shiels. Maybe Howe gets a game.

I think I would persist with Serong and give Jeka another chance at CHF. I think he has been doing OK in the back half but we could really do with a marking forward.

 

[blackheart]

IN: Lynch, McDonald. Saunders
OUT: Kosi, Impey, Serong

 

[Da Game]

Ins: Butler, McDonald and Lynch
Outs: Kosi, Impey and Serong who stays in 23 as sub. I would have Shiels here but give him his last game for the club

Lynch to Ruck with McEvoy spending time up forward to kick a couple in his last. Butler and McDonald come in as they r the future and for a post in another thread that said we should have drafted Sonsie instead of Butler FML.

Kosi is not our No. 2 key forward we need to get someone in next 2 years for Lewis, Impey looks like he should go on holiday tomorrow and come back hopefully with his pace and confidence back.

 

[Coach Killer]

In: Butler, provides much needed Zip and there’s nothing much left in the magoos. Maybe Howe for a farewell game.
Out: Nobody, let’s play with two extra players and see if that makes a difference - worth a try.

 

[CHUBBSS]

Does playing an afl game impact any players eligibility to play finals?

 

[westhawk]

In- Lynch, Saunders, Macdonald.
Out- Kozzie, Impey, Serong
Serong as sub.

 

[hawkman]

Would say tank it to assist Carlton in their mission to miss the finals but after today I doubt we will get close anyway

 

[Walshawk]

Does playing an afl game impact any players eligibility to play finals?

Only Lynch. Can play VFL finals if you have played AFL after July 1, unless you have played six VFL games. Lynch has played four VFL games. See my post in the Box Hill sub forum for the full list.

Read somewhere if Lynch plays 1 more senior game he then can’t play at BH, maybe this is why he is not being picked

 

[Kuuz]

Saunders on Saturday was a bull. Literally the highlight was him sprinting full pace into a contested ball. Exactly what we need to energise us.

Saunders in for mine for Imps, and hopefully Callow for Kozi (for a rest) and even more hopefully, despite mixed form at BH, Ned Long for Shiels.

 

[KermitJagger]

Bring in Lynch, put McEvoy forward and try to let him go out with a decent haul of goals.

Out: Kosi, Impey
In: Lynch, Saunders

Throw Sic back to defense, Jeka up forward and let's see what Saundo is made of.
